The Problem

New legislation like KOSMA and similar laws worldwide are forcing websites and apps to verify user ages, but current solutions require invasive ID uploads, biometric scans, or third-party data sharing that create massive privacy risks and security breach exposure. Platform operators face a no-win choice between regulatory fines and alienating privacy-conscious users.

Potential Solution

A zero-knowledge age verification API that uses cryptographic proofs to confirm a user meets an age threshold without revealing their actual birthdate, identity documents, or biometric data to the requesting platform. The service integrates with existing identity sources (mobile carriers, device-level attestation, banking KYC) but only passes a boolean age-check result, keeping all PII siloed and ephemeral.

Why Now?

The Kids Off Social Media Act (KOSMA) is heading to the U.S. Senate floor in 2026, Spain has enacted social media bans for minors, and the FTC is actively incentivizing age verification adoption — creating immediate, mandatory demand for compliant solutions that don't destroy user privacy.
